D E S C R I P T I O NSurrounded by the Forest of Death Konohagakure is nearly impossible to reach unaided. The forest, named the Forest of Death for a reason, consumes all to attempt to reach the village major. Inside of the forest individuals find themselves under the cover of extreme levels of darkness with no way to understand their exact direction. The flora and fauna here have adapted to this cover of darkness, having grown equally ominous. Several variants of plants grow here which look, smell, and even taste like their counterparts but yield nothing but death. The animals, which have either learned to tolerate the plants or to eat each other, are known for their viciousness.
WHAT IS KONOHAGAKURE?Konohagakure no Sato is a ninja settlement nestled in the middle of the Forest of Death known for it's military strength. The ninja of Konohagakure are from a young age forced on a strict training regime to begin building their skills. This emphasis on strength and worthiness has forced upon the ninja settlement a sort of Military Dictatorship with the Hokage as the supreme leader. Genin, who themselves make up the majority of the ninja members of the village, are often thought of as almost second-class citizens (as far as ninja go) and left to fend for themselves. The other ranks of ninja; chuunin, jounin, and sannin, make up a societal and military hierarchy of power and influence over the major goings of the village. Those who are not ninja however, lead normal lives relatively unaffected by this, becoming bakers, merchants, herbalists, etc satisfied with just with being constantly protected by Konohagakure ninja.
A Konoha-nin's appearance can vary vastly from person to person, as for the most part it serves as a melting pot of clans from diverse backgrounds. These individuals, who have endured difficult and painful training regimen, do however end up being slender but fit - providing the perfect backdrop for both Ninjutsu & Taijutsu specialty. There being no identifying pattern with anatomy beyond this, their lack of facial similarity, and the lack of skin tone continuity allows for the building of perfect ninja.
Attire-wise Konoha-nin while on missions typically wear whatever is appropriate and necessary for the mission at hand. Similarly, there is no actual uniform dress for ninja within the village beyond wearing one's headband. However, the upper echelon of ninja (sannin, kage, relatives of either) tend to wear military dress, swapping the headband for an emblem featuring the leaf symbol. This dress has become synonymous of individuals citizens and ninja alike know to both stay clear of and pay attention to.
WHAT ARE OUR PRINCIPLES?Konoha-nin are taught to believe that the accomplishment of a mission predominates the lives of the ninja trying to accomplish it. As a result they are proudly merciless in battle, and fully understand that failure is not an option. Should it seem inevitable, a Konoha shinobi will assuredly try to make a success of their mission. Failure is not tolerated. To report failure is to admit defeat and blemish the name of the great ninja nation.
WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE?Power, above all.
